Bitcoin Time Capsule: 1,200 BTC From 2015 Finally Wake Up

So, apparently, Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency—it’s also a snooze button. After nearly a decade of slumber, a handful of ancient wallets decided to wake up from their deep sleep, and what do they do? They move a whopping 1,200 BTC, worth over $113 million today. What a way to make a grand entrance.

The “Sleeping Giants” of Bitcoin: 1,200 Coins Move for the First Time Since 2015

Here’s the kicker: back in 2015, when these 12 wallets were stacking up coins like they were collecting Pokémon, Bitcoin was worth $374 per coin. That’s right, a mere $374. Fast forward to 2025, and these coins are now worth $113.35 million—because apparently, time really does make things more valuable. On April 25, 2025, these coins, once worth around $448,800, got a modern makeover and split up into more sophisticated, fragmented wallets with new, shiny Bech32 P2WPKH addresses. I guess even digital money needs a facelift.

Let’s break down the epic migration of one of these transactions—take, for example, transaction “c5348.” This transfer saw 100 BTC move out of its original wallet and scatter itself across 12 brand-new P2WPKH wallets. Wallet 1 took 7.516 BTC, Wallet 2 grabbed 7.804 BTC, and Wallet 3 snagged 9.696 BTC. The rest of the wallets—because of course there were more—scooped up a few bits here and there, ranging between 6 and 9 BTC. Oh, and don’t forget Wallet 6, which decided it was feeling a little greedy and accepted 6.902 BTC. Because who’s counting?

Now, don’t think this is just some random movement. Blockchair, the blockchain sleuths, gave this transaction a privacy score of 90 out of 100. But they did flag one inconsistency: “no output of the same type as inputs.” Whatever that means, it’s clear these veteran Bitcoin holders aren’t just playing around. They’re making calculated moves—rebalancing their portfolios, preparing for liquidity events, or just really into the latest address protocols because, you know, staying trendy is important—even for digital currencies.
